...sport. He frequents race tracks, raises gamecocks on Brother Daniel's Catskill farm. Thence last week the Clan O'Connell directed negotiations for its scion's return. Obeying the kidnappers' instructions, the names of three sets of intermediaries, 31 in all, were published in code in Albany and New York newspapers. The intermediaries were cabaret operators, ex-beer truck drivers, saloon waiters, tipsters and other questionable characters-all friends of the democratic O'Connells. Neither the district attorney's office, local or state police, nor the dozen Department of Justice agents sent to Albany...

Some 50 other codes, mostly of minor industries, had been submitted, none of them yet heard. The big industries, coal, steel, oil, lumber, clothing, etc. were all working on codes but none was yet ready. Allowing time for hearings, squabbles, compromises and Presidential approval, the prospect of putting them in force in less than two months was dwindling...
